Sale items - Complaint
KINGSTON, ON CANADA -- Canadian Tire uses false advertising to get you into their Store and then charges you full price for the item in the flier. The flier advertised kitty litter for $4.99, on sale from $8.99. The written description had the brand name and the size of the litter. It did not state selected varieties, or scented only. I went to the store and they had a large display at the end of the aisle all unscented, that usually means that is the product on sale. That's not where I picked mine up though, I went to the regular shelf that had the yellow sale tags all over the shelves. Again nowhere did it say selected varieties or scented only. I get to the cash register and they charge me the $8.99. Forget about trying to talk to a manager, she accused me of being illiterate because the picture showed a box of the litter and if you looked really closely at the picture it was a scented box. Of course they did not have any scented variety to sell at $4.99, only the unscented at $8.99. It must be much more expensive to make it without the scent!! I requested a rain check but of course they weren't giving those out. BEWARE OF SHOPPING AT CANADIAN TIRE THEY ARE OUT TO RIP YOU OFF!

I'm always careful when something is on sale for as much as half off. The sales flier frequently says, "limited quantities', 'where available', etc. to cover legal requirements. Also, for something that is almost half off the supply may be bought up quickly. Insulting a customer is just a bad business practise under any circumstances.
